The subject matter of this sentence, "cause-andeffect relationships," makes "causality" and "intentionality" very tempting answers. However, most people do understand causality (or at least think they do) so the blank, which represents something that people don't understand, is going to mean the exact opposite of "straightforward and direct" causality, such as "randomness" or "happenstance." "Mathematics" and "science" may be difficult for some people to understand, but a solid understanding of causality would actually help people understand those subjects, so they are incorrect choices.
